Another tough match for Delpo against a Gulbis that seems to be playing very well at the moment. Of course it could be a routine win for JMDP if Gulbis has one of his usual stinkers, but if he's on it will be a very tough match. After all, their last match in LA 2011 ended in a Gulbis win in straights.

If Gulbis pulls his best Safin impersonation, I wouldn't count on it Unfortunately he does that once in a blue moon.

They want to succeed. Many of them, they don’t succeed in the end. I’m fortunate to have this opportunity and succeed.”

Del Potro should be to consistent for Gulbis. But we all know how good Gulbis can be, so if he will play at high level at least hour and half, he can win in straight sets, why not. But Delpo should be to consistent, i mean he should play powerfull from both sides without errors, while Gulbis might self-destruct

Could go either way, of course, depending on which Gulbis shows up, not just for the result but it would be either an amazing match to watch or an awful errorfest. With that said, i'm hoping to see an inspired Ernests at action but with Juan holding his own and prevailing in the end!

But what I really want is a great agressive 3-setter, whoever wins.

Does the fact that Delpo didn't commit to play DC this year and past performances with the ARG team influenced greatly in perhaps not liking him as much? I'm curious since you happen to like the best brand of attacking tennis, shotmaking, and we know Juan can be amazing to watch in that department when he is in the zone.
